Hi guys, first time trying to update drivers on a MOBO, I went straight for the page on Asus site.
But I have some problems. Namely, I can see a LOT of different drivers for the same "thing", and I don't know if I have to install more than one. For example, here

as you can see there are two different drivers. Their number seems progressive (6.0.1.8158 is after the 6.0.1.7904), but one is a Realtek Audio Driver and the other is Studio Sound something...so I don't know if I should install both drivers or only one.

Also, for Chipset

it seems there are two different "type" of driver, the Management Engine and the Intel Chipset Driver...should I download and install both?

So sorry if lots of this is really elementary, I just can't find a good source of explanation about what to do!

Thanks in advance!

Second question: you should install both ME and Chipset driver, of course latest versions. They are indeed different drivers.
First question: not sure, but they seem to be separate drivers. You should install Realtek driver. All I got about the other driver is "SupremeFX 2015 also features intuitive Sonic Studio II, so you'll apply and enjoy different audio effects for perfect entertainment", so I guess it won't hurt to install it too.
